Product Information - When you're having fun, time flies. Believe it or not, it's been 18 years since the last installment of this popular instrumental series. In keeping with the motto "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", here on "Teen Beat Volume 6" we've stuck to the tried and true winning mix of top-notch classics, hits and rarities with the occasional surprise - Rock instrumental classics don't get much bigger than Duane Eddy's "Peter Gunn" or Johnny & The Hurricanes' "Reveille Rock" to kick off the compilation. Lesser-known are the Rondells' thunderous assault "Caldonia," which rocks like hell, the Busters' ripping "All American Surfer" and the Ramrods' glorious "Night Ride," a totally authentic wedge of surf - even though the band hails from Alabama - When it comes to rarities, we've got two clear aces up our sleeve. Sandy Nelson's "Drum Shack" is so rare we weren't even sure it really existed until the master came into our hot little hands, while the Astronauts' "Big Hunk O' Love" was released in 1966 but never made it beyond Japanese shores - Other obscurities include the Invaders' "Disc Jockey," which is as clever as it is calculated (what DJ could resist?), the Mus-Twangs' rock banger "Frankie & Johnny", which was co-written by Paul Cotton of Poco when all he wanted to be was Duane Eddy, Don Cole's haunting guitar work on "Free Flight", and the Titans' "Noplace Special", which is actually a very special place - Compilation and sleeve notes by Dave Burke and Alan Taylor of Pipeline.

Album spans genres Rock, Pop, Rock & Roll and Space Rock.
